DT

Average Scores by Level

DT is a barbell cycling workout that flows through deadlifts, hang power cleans, and push jerks — all with the same bar, same weight, no putting it down between movements within a round.

Level	Time / Score	Notes
Beginner	25+ min	Scale to 95/65 lb
Intermediate	15–25 min	Rx weight, broken sets
Advanced	10–15 min	Cycling efficiently
Elite	Sub 10 min	Unbroken rounds

Scaling Options

Scale to 95/65 lb for athletes newer to barbell cycling. The push jerk is the limiting movement — use a weight you can push jerk for 6 unbroken reps when fresh.

Strategy Tips

The ideal strategy is to not put the bar down within a round. Transition directly from deadlifts to hang power cleans to push jerks. Rest between rounds rather than within them. The push jerk is the tiebreaker — protect your shoulders in the early rounds.
